Albus Dumbledore was sitting at his desk when a large brown barn owl swooped in and dropped a letter on his desk. It cooed once before taking flight and quickly leaving through the window to return home. Dumbledore looked down at the letter and noticed the Potters seal on it and raised an eyebrow. He had a bad feeling about the letter; it would not bring him good news.
~Dear Albus,
I have dreadful news concerning the girl Lily Evans. Around three o'clock this evening she flooed here and was a bloody mess. We have taken her to ST. Mungo's and that is where she resides at this moment. Albus she has been brutally beaten and raped, for quite a while now it seems, and is very malnourished. The doctors believe if she survives the night she will be okay, if not.. I dread to think of it. I hate to have to tell you this horrid news as much as I hate for this to have happen to such a sweet and innocent girl such as Lily. James is with her right at this moment.
Sincerely,
Penny Potter~
Dumbledore's heart broke and reached out for Lily after he had read the letter. He sighed and rubbed his eyes, he should have suspected something with the way Lily had been acting. He sighed again before standing up and calling Professor McGonagall into his office.
"Albus what's the matter?" She asked.
"I will be leaving Hogwarts for a time Minerva. Something awful has happened." He said.
"What has happened?" She asked.
"It involves Lily Evans. She is in St. Mungo's at this moment." Albus said, and a gasp escaped her lips. "She is in very poor condition."
"Albus what happened to her?" She asked.
"She had been beaten and raped." Minerva's eyes widened and tears swelled up in her eyes as she blinked them back. "She is also malnourished."
"Oh the poor dear. She was always so sweet and kind." Minerva said.
"I know." Albus said.
"Albus who found her?" She asked.
"The Potters. She flooed to their house and was taken to the hospital from there. James Potter is staying with her at this moment." He informed her.
She only nodded. "Does her friends know?" She asked.
"No. I think it would be wise if she or Mr. Potter told them." He said and only got a nod in return. "I shall return later." He said before flooing to the hospital.

When Dumbledore arrived at Lily's room, he was greeted by the site of a very pale, small, bruised and battered form laying under the white sheets, and James resting his head on the side of the bed fingers entwined with hers and sleeping. He sighed sadly as his eyes took in the girl in front of her, and then the young man who was sleeping by her side.
"Albus!" He heard someone say from behind him. Dumbledore turned and looked at Penny Potter.
"Ahh Penny." He said.
"It's a shame isn't it?" Penny said her eyes glancing at the room that held the battered girl.
"Yes indeed it is." He sighed. "Do you by chance know who did this too her?" He asked.
"No. After I finished writing the letter to you I followed James here. He might know something." She said. "Albus how could anyone do that to such a sweet girl?" She said.
"I don't know." Albus said quietly.
"Albus where will Lily be staying after she gets out of the hospital?" Penny asked.
"She will come back to Hogwarts, that will be the safes place for her." Dumbledore said. "But before that we should get in contact with her father." He said.
"No." They heard James from the doorway. They both looked at him, his eyes blazing like wildfire. "He is the reason why Lily is in here! He is the reason why she is so hurt! He's the one that did all those things to Lily!" He shouted. "And if she's going back to Hogwarts then so am I." He said.
"James how-?" Penny began.
"How do I know? Because I read her diary, and it's all there." He said.
"You mean her own father did this to her?" Penny asked
"Adoptive father." He said with disgust. "And he's never coming near her again, he's never hurting her again." James finished his voice shaking with unshed anger.
"The authorities will have to be notified." Albus said.
"I'm going to go and wait with Lily, you know incase she wakes up." James said and walked back into the room. James looked at Lily and ran a hand through his already unruly hair. She plopped down in the chair and waited as the night dragged on until morning.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
The sun shown through the window and played across James' face making him twitch. He stirred and opened his eyes slowly sitting up and rubbing his eyes as he looked at Lily. He sighed, she still wasn't awake, but at least she was alive and that was better then nothing.
"Come on Lils, wake up." James pleaded. "Please wake up." He begged as he heard a soft murmur. His eyes searched her face. "Lils?" He said brushing hair away from her face.
"James." Her voice was soft barley audible and scratchy.
"Lily your awake! Thank god!" He cried.
Lily's eyes slowly opened, emerald eyes looking around the room. "James where am I?" She asked.
"Don't you remember?" He asked. She looked puzzled as she struggled to think. "Your in the hospital Lily." With those words realization suddenly dawned on Lily, her eyes started tear up and she started to shake. "Lils it's ok your safe. He's never going to hurt you again." He whispered. Lily looked at him becoming even paler then before. She slowly sat up, wincing as she did so.
"Y-you know?" She stuttered.
James looked at Lily and his heart broke. James' eyes told Lily all she needed to know. She started to cry her head dropping and her hair like a curtain in front of her face. "It's ok Lils your safe." He said as he slowly reached out to touch her. She quickly pulled away from him. The one simple action hurt James a lot.
"No he'll find me a-and hurt me." Lily croaked out. Huge emerald eyes looked up to the face of James, she looked so lost so frightened. "James don't let him hurt me, not again." She said and started to cry. James pulled Lily into his embrace and Lily lay against his chest, sobbing. "Don't let him get me." She said.
"It's ok Lily. I won't let anyone hurt you not ever again." He said and he kissed her head and rocked her back and forth as she cried.
"I don't understand, how can you even stand to touch me? I'm dirty am, am a slut, I'm a worthless dirty whore, and its all my fault." She sobbed.
"No Lily, you are not. Do you hear me? You are, you're worth more then the world itself, and it wasn't your fault. It's not your fault that sorry excuse of a human being took advantage of you. He's the worthless piece of shit here. Not you. Your perfect." He whispered to her. Lily sobbed even harder as she got, if possible, even closer to James.
"Don't leave me James." She mumbled.
"I won't." He said and kissed her head softly as he continued to rock her back and forth.

Hours later Lily and James still had yet to move from their spots. James ran his hand through Lily's silky soft dark red hair and she slept against his chest having cried her self to sleep hours ago. Her hands held his shirt tightly in her balled fist, as if she was afraid he would go somewhere. He smiled slightly at the angle laying on him and sighed, however the peaceful slumber Lily had found was quickly ruined by the squeaking nurse who had entered.
"Good lord! Young man get down from there!" She screeched. Lily immediately jerked awake and looked around frantically. James made soothing noises to settle Lily down, but glared coldly at the nurse, and if looks could kill she'd be dead.
"Ms. Evans your awake!" She screeched, Lily winced.
"Yea no thanks to you." James muttered darkly.
The nurse glared at him. "You young man, need to leave this instance!" She said pointing a finger out toward the door.
Lily's eyes turned to him swiftly and pleaded with him not to go James kissed her head as she tightened her grip on him. "Don't leave me alone." She said her voice small, frightened.
"I won't." He said. "But I need to stand over there until they finish looking you over ok." He explained.
Lily looked at him a minute before nodding and reluctantly letting him go as he stood in a corner. The nurse glared at him and went over to Lily and began to check her vital signs and everything else, while James adverted his eyes somewhere else.
"Well your coming along fast aren't you my dear." The nurse said, before leaving the room to tell Penny and Dumbledore about Lily.
Lily glanced over at James. "James." She said hesitantly and softly.
"Hmm." He said looking at her.
"Do um. d-do sierra and-"
"No, I haven't gotten to tell them yet." He said, knowing exactly what she wanted to ask.
Lily nodded and looked down at her. A tear slipped down her cheek. James walked over to her and gentle brushed it away from her. "I can't face them." She said softly. "What will they think?" She asked.
James raised her chin so he could look at her in the eyes. "They won't think any different of you. Your still you, your still Lily." He said with sincerity. "And nothing will change that. They'll help you Lils." He said.
Lily searched his eyes and found the truth. "What about you?" She asked softly.
"I'm not going anywhere Lils." He said, and smiled softly down at the small red headed girl. At that moment Penny Potter and Dumbledore walked in the room. Lily glanced at them and then looked down at her hands.
"Lily dear are you ok?" Penny asked walking over to her and went to brush a strand of hair away from her face, but Lily shed away from her closer to James. Penny looked confused at first as she lowered her hand away from Lily. "It's ok dear, there's nothing to be afraid of." She said, but didn't each out to Lily again.
"Ms. Evans I have arranged for your return to Hogwarts." He said. Lily only nodded her head. "I know how hard this is for you Lily, but you'll have the support of friends, Mrs. Potter, and the staff, we'll all right here for you Lily." He said gentle. Lily only nodded her head.
"When am I going back to Hogwarts?" She asked in a small voice.
"As soon as the paper work is finished and we can safely transport you from here to the Hospital wing." He said. Lily only nodded. "Ms. Evans is there any family you have that I can contact?" He asked. Lily stiffened and edged closer to James who was sitting on the bed with her.
"I-I have a s-sister whose getting married." She mumbled. Dumbledore only nodded. "I'm not going back home am I?" She asked. Tears making her eyes shine as she started to tremble.
Dumbledore looked at the frightened girl in front of him sadly. "No Lily. He will never touch you again if I can help it." He said. Lily only nodded and leaned against James. "We should leave, and let you get rest." He said.
"Bye dear." Penny said walking out of the room.
"Good day Ms. Evans, and I am truly sorry for what has happened." E said and left James and Lily alone.
Once they were gone James stared at the door and then at Lily who looked very tired. "You should get some rest." James said and Lily only nodded.
"When will you get back from Christmas break?" Lily asked as she doused off.
"I'm going back to Hogwarts with you Lily." James said as he stroked her hair. Lily yawned, and before she could say anything else she fell asleep.
